I Remember
Lyrics:
[English]
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the the night
...
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember...
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember...
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
...
Remember how it was with you
Remember how it was with you
I remember...
...
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember...
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember...
...
